Songfacts®:

  • The French Rock Hard magazine asked "Eicca" Toppinen from Apocalyptica whether the album title was a reference to the meeting of rock, metal and classical music. He replied: "That can be a meaning, because many styles are effectively colliding on this album, and more generally in Apocalyptica's universe. The notion associated with Worlds Collide is more in an abstract level, and everybody can finally use his personal interpretation. For us this title is significative in the way that, with this album, we will try to seduce new audiences, the ones that were so far reluctant about that mix between genres we offer."
